function money($amount,$separator=true,$simple=false){
    return
        (true===$separator?
            (false===$simple?
                number_format($amount,2,'.',','):
                str_replace('.00','',money($amount))
            ):
            (false===$simple?
                number_format($amount,2,'.',''):
                str_replace('.00','',money($amount,false))
            )
        );
}

Examples:
PHP
 
<?php
echo '<pre>';
$amount=123456;
echo money($amount)."\n"; // 123,456.00
echo money($amount,false)."\n"; // 123456.00
echo money($amount,true,true)."\n"; // 123,456
?>

If you're looking for something simpler:
PHP
 
function money($amount) {
    return sprintf('%01.2f', $amount);
}
 
function money($amount) {
    return number_format($amount, 2, '.', ',');
}
